Those Hunahpu boys are back at it, and this time, they’ve found their old man’s sports gear and they are ready for some justice served in the Pitz of Hell (or rather the Pok-a-Tok ball courts of Xibalba). It’s two on Twelve with Xibalanque and Hunahpu duking it out in the grudge match of the century against the Twelve Lords of Death who murdered their father and uncle, but the Xibalbans are the only ones with tricks up their sleeves.

One year later and life gets even weirder for the very-average-but-still-trying-his-best Sir Gawain when the smooching games starts happening.

Wahoo! It’s-a me, Xolotl, your psychopomp through the nine levels of Mictlan, the Aztec Underworld. Your princess is in another castle, as these levels consist of many rivers, mountains, wind, fog, and an array of errant arrows. Wuh-oh! But don’t worry, so long as you’ve got your spirit dog guide, you’ll be fine, probably. Let’s-a go!
